iM Random Snaps: All in a days work

The end of summer has come around leaving us with fond memories of flip flops, popsicles, and short skirts 😛 As fall approaches I figured id get a few guys together for a bunch of photos before the cars get put away for the winter. I grabbed my camera and gear and our first stop leads us to this Suzuka Blue S2000, mildly modified to specific regulations for competitive racing. Then we head out into the night with a new Audi S4 and a couple of Japanese favorites! We even stopped by the local car meet for a bit of eye candy!

Two Years @ illmotion – Top 10

Sitting around reminiscing about 2 years of posts and how we got here it peaked my interest in what exactly you guys keep coming back to see. Pulled some of the site stats and figured it would be cool to post up the top 10 most popular posts since we started out 2 years ago. Some of the post have been active for a heck of a lot longer than others but that’s fine, there a nice mix of old and new stuff. There is even a couple very recent posts that are destroying it in the hit department.

#10 – iM Feature: Cee’s Honda S2000
This S2k might not be one of the most highly modded cars we’ve ever featured but the photos are on point and the rolling shot in front of the massive Bow high rise is one of my favorite shots ever.

#9 – iM Feature: Gabes 1990 Civic EF Hatch
It’s not surprising that Taylor’s feature of this ultra clean boosted EF hatch made the list. It’s one of the nicest features to come out of Vancouver and thank again to Taylor for holding down the west coast.

#8 – iM Highlight: Ger’s 350z
Was also nice to see one of Galens features make the list. He’s sent us tons of great coverage from the Toronto area and this Nismo 350z is no exception.

#7 – iM Random Snaps: Redlyne’s MR2 x Fall Shoot
We have shot Ryan’s car a couple times but the picture perfect autumn setting made this one of the most popular sets of pictures we’ve ever posted. These pics were reposted and linked all over the net within hours of it going live.

#6 – iM Feature: Dicken’s Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X
Lime green wheels, giant GT wing, roll cage…… the neck snapping parts go on and on. It’s no surprise this feature made the list. Continues to get tons of hits even to this day almost a year later.

#5 – iM Flashback: JC Tenchavez’s Toyota Echo RS Hatchback (Vitz RS)
JC didn’t believe me when I told him he made the list. But I think he underestimates the uniqueness of his past Echo project car. Yeah buddy!

#4 – Godzilla’s Special Child – R32 GT-R Nismo Edition #181
We covered guest contributions from Vancouver and Toronto already so what about Edmonton? Kevin’s feature of this ultra mint GTR was posted way back in 2010 and has been stacking up hits ever since then.

#3 – Gangster D Honda S2000
Daniel’s S2000 not only comes in this high on the list but this feature is right up there for most hits in a single day for any post we’ve ever made. When it was initially posted it spread like wildfire on facebook and vimeo and rightfully so. This post has only been active for a couple months and already is one of the most popular features ever.

#2 – iM Feature: Alex’s Turbo Integra
Alex’s insane turbo Integra is one of Calgary cleanest cars, it also doesn’t hurt that it’s ridiculously fast! It hasn’t been seen at too many events but that hasn’t stopped you guys from continuing to visit his feature. Can’t wait to see this car around this year.

#1 – iM Feature: Reggie Mah’s 1998 Acura Integra GS
Probably one of the best sets of photos we’ve done for any of the cars we’ve shot in the past. That combined with the aggressive styling and stance means people continue to check out this 2010 feature and it tops our list for most hits. Reggie has since moved on to another Integra which is mid-build right now, can’t wait to see what he has in store this time around.

The iM Era Hoody

In celebration of the new 2012 year we are proud to share this exciting new release with y’all. As per your requests, we would like to introduce to you the all new “iM Era” hoody!

iM Sunday School Show & Shine Event Details

We are a little over 5 days away from one of the biggest shows that has ever been put together in Calgary. With cars coming from surrounding cities of all makes and models, many of the biggest automotive shops around sponsoring over $4000 in prizes, and a nice view of the Calgary skyline, this is going to be one show you won’t want to miss! Entertainment from two of Calgary’s sickest DJ’s, new illmotion swag being released, good company, and (what looks to be) wicked weather – this is the best way to end the season.

Spectating and parking is free. Every registrant will receive illmotion goodies as well as a single entry into the draw, additional tickets will be available for purchase and spectators can get in on the prizes too and it all goes to a great cuase, SEVA Canada – a charitable eye care organization.

A few rules for the day that you’ll want to keep in mind:
– Please arrive on time. With over 200 cars coming to show, we want to make this quick and painless for everybody. Roll-in will be from 12:00 – 12:30. This leaves us sufficient time to place and park nicely.
– Arrive with your crew – that way you can figure out who parks where in your area.
– Any garbage from food/items that is brought onto the premises is to be placed in the trash. We want to keep this clean!
– As expected, we want everybody to be on their best behavior. Burnouts, revving and any uncalled for behavior will get you kicked out. It’s a show, not a track.
– Those registered for the show – please stay until the end of the draw. Afterwards, everyone can roll out.
